HOW DOES SOLAR POWER AND WIND ENERGY HELP THE ENVIRONMENT?
Aug 12th
Question by tokyo_drift:
how does solar power and wind energy help the environment?
I put that it is a flow resource, therefore, it is unlimited. I also put supply and demanD. there is more energy needed than can be supplied. byy using sun and wind as a source of energy, we can allieviate some of the strain on the energy crisis. what else can I put? PLEASE HELP ME GUYS ! : ) thanks .

IS IT FEASIBLE TO USE WIND ENERGY FOR BACKUP POWER IF YOU ARE IN A “0″ REGION ON THE DEPT. OF ENERGY’S MAP?
Jul 29th
Question by cnsdubie:
Is it feasible to use wind energy for backup power if you are in a “0″ region on the Dept. of Energy’s map?
I comprehend you probably could not depend upon wind energy for complete power, but I am assuming it’s just not the most cost effective means?
What about just buying components for a person who has the skills to fabricate their own windmill? I’d really like to hear personal stories from people who have done this themselves, but good world wide web site referrals are welcome, too.
Ok…it’s a one. I have looked at so much information, I have lost track…

IN THE FUTURE, WILL SOLAR ENERGY BE THE MAIN SOURCE OF OUR POWER?
Jul 28th
Question by forsight:
In the future, will solar energy be the main source of our power?
I realize that current solar panels are not that efficient. However, is it possible that they will eventually (in 20-30 years) be efficient enough to provide most of America’s energy needs (75% or more)? The reason why I ask is that I once saw an Television interview in which some researcher from MIT was questioned about solar panels. He basically stated that solar panel efficiency will double each two years.
Is this true? If possible, could you please cite an article or a reliable source?

Q&A: IS THERE A GOOD SOLAR PANEL FOR A POWER OUTAGE EMERGENCY?
Jul 20th
Question by JEN MYOB:
Is there a good Solar Panel for a power outage emergency?
Sometimes we have black outs for entire days, especially during major storms and the peak summer heat hits over 115 & everyone overloads the grid. So, do you know of any Solar Panel systems that are good for installing on roof for emergencies? I heard there are some you can roll up and take out when need but cannot find on int. search…Has technology advanced any?
Thanks for any links!

WHAT DETERMINES THE POWER OF A WIND TURBINE?
Jul 14th
Question by KalEl63:
What determines the power of a wind turbine?
Wind turbines generate electricity through magnetic induction. The blades turn a rotor lined with magnets through copper coils, thus generating voltage. The question is WHAT determines the power output. If the wind is constant, is it the strength of the magnets? Or the length of the copper wire in the coils? Any way a lay-person can figure this out and come up with reasonable voltages expected?

HOW CAN I SET UP A SOLAR PANEL JUST TO POWER A COUPLE OF LIGHT GLOBES IN MY HOME?
Jul 10th
Question by ozzyezzy:
how can i set up a solar panel just to power a couple of light globes in my home?
does anyone know of a good website that can show me how to rig up a solar panel, battery and inverter to power a few energy saver light globes (say 10-15 watt each), in my house? thanks
and i was thinking of using a automobile battery for power storage, is this appropriate? what are the possible limitations of doing this, are there any hazards?
